I would LOVE to cruise around in one of those!

[hirokomlm]

I love how futuristic ideas always look exactly like the time they were created in.

[amJohn]

Now, that's the car the Griswold's should have had in National Lampoons Vacation.

[Romiman]

Looks kind of great. Some vibes of Pacer and GMC 6wheeler. Design was sleek, friendly, airy back than. Lightyears away from todays sad boxy dark aggressive era of trucks and SUVs...

[modelermark]

The Unitron reminds me a bit of the Dodge Deora in layout, but with more conventional, side doors instead of the front clamshell door where the steering wheel also had to move to allow entry. Thanks for sharing this with us; this is the first I've ever heard of this concept car. 59th like.

This vehicle is beautiful. I can see elements of my favorite T-bird of '61 thru '63.

[skankhunt]

I'll never get why companies don't have any balls to make a concept car from the past!
There's at least hundreds of completely beautiful and/or genius designs, which would impact the market in a huge way

[RabidDoggy-FUYT]

That looked like a pre converted Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile.

[calvinlong]

It looks like a 60s version of a minivan.

[rupertchappelle]

Looks better than what is being made now.

[pauljanssen]

She's such a beauty 😍 perfect family car for family of eight or more, I feel like I'm lost in space 😂

[MichaelSHartman]

Looks like it belongs in Disney's "World of Tomorrow" by the modular home.
I agree, it was too short. It's more like a futuristic station wagon.

[binaryflat]

It looks great... and even futuristic today!

[BillCohron]

What's interesting is that you can see many styling cues from this concept vehicle in the Falcon van and truck, especially the mid-engine arrangement.

[Wally-xc]

It seems to me I had a hot wheels car that looked a lot like this one version in this video

[lucarnetrange]

I'm absolutely in love with this voice. I really mean it. So clearly articulated. 🎉

[michaelmurphy]

That design was probably the inspiration for the "Chariot" on the sci-fi tv show lost in space.

[mikes.]

That pickup would have been interesting to see!

[chrisridethatbloodything]

0:43 here it seems to have front engine and rear wheel drive.
I like the amount of interior space. Like the VW bus. But with more style.

[DocZoidberg]

I hope that fiberglass version is still around.
